Chapter Seventy-Two: Goodbye Clouds and Flowing Water
"Drunk and spitting the truth? That's even more interesting, Xiao Shangshu has to be convicted of a single drunken remark, this official is really like child's play. ”
Lu Chexi sneered, and smiled contemptuously at Xiao Pinyan.
"Where can drunk talk be taken seriously? Xiao Shangshu, if this king said that he slept with your daughter now, would you believe it? ”
This Shen Yuanan is a rat who caught the crack in the ground and drilled it, in order to exonerate himself, he completely ignored his shame and dared to say anything.
"You!" Xiao Pinyan was furious.
"Motherfucker, shut up! Look at yourself now! What is the difference between being sober and looking drunk! Don't forget that you're still a prince! ”
Emperor Chu Wei saw that Shen Yuan'an was getting darker and darker, and the more he said, the more outrageous it became, and he was about to explode.
"Father! Father! Erchen is innocent! You must believe in your sons! Shen Yuanan shouted injustice again.
"Your Majesty! The old minister is sincere to you, and you can learn from the sun and the moon! Xiao Pinyan cried even more.
"Shut up!" Shen Mushi roared angrily.
His roar used a bit of internal force, and the penetration was relatively strong, except for Emperor Chu Wei and Shen Yuanan, who had been practicing martial arts all year round, the eardrums of the rest of the people were slightly stinging, and they were silenced, especially Xiao Pinyan was even more frightened half to death, shrinking his head and not moving.
Shen Mushi turned around slowly, and said to everyone in a dumb voice: "This palace will investigate this matter thoroughly." If the crown princess really does not abide by women's morality and has an affair with others, this king will definitely ask for the abolition of the concubine. On the contrary, if Xiao Shangshu slanders the reputation of the crown princess with false rumors, and asks his father to deal with Xiao Shangshu in accordance with the law, he must be severely punished and not loaned, so as to repay the princess and the Lu family justice! ”
When Emperor Chu Wei looked at Shen Mu, he didn't say a word.
Asking the prince to personally check whether the princess is out of the wall, such an ugly thing is really unbearable.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the abolished concubine, Weichen thinks that the prince can't even govern the East Palace, how can he govern the country? After the matter is clear, please ask the emperor to consider the matter of the prince. There is also Lu Xiang, who has no way to teach his daughter, and he should sit together as a traitor!"
An Guogong also stood up at this time, looking at Emperor Chu Wei with a serious expression, waiting for him to nod his hair.
Lu Chexi glanced at An Guogong coldly, knelt on the ground calmly and said:
"According to the laws of Chu and Wei, the emperor's relatives were framed, and they were dismissed, and their relatives were exiled to northern Xinjiang as slaves; If you frame a loyal minister, you will not be pardoned, and all the men, women and children of your family will be reduced to lowly status. An Guogong, are you sure you want to bet on the whole clan to bet on this? ”
"Why should Lu Xiang be aggressive? I wasn't the one who asked for the abolition of the concubine. ”
An Guogong shook his sleeve robe and snorted coldly, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
"An Guogong, you ......," Xiao Pinyan shouted in fear.
At this critical juncture, An Guogong actually cut the table with himself.
"Xiao Shangshu, since you are completely sure, why worry?" Emperor Chu Wei already understood in his heart that he was coming, and he still didn't forget to make up for it.
"This ......" Xiao Pinyan broke out in a dense cold sweat on his forehead, and began to regret his reckless behavior.
At first, I just wanted to talk about the white silk and open the way for my granddaughter by the way, but I didn't expect that an accident would cause a murder.
"When will the prince reply to me?"
"It only takes three days."
Shen Mushi looked at Xiao Pinyan indifferently, and lowered his head to Emperor Chu Wei and replied.
"Okay, since the prince wants to investigate thoroughly in person, I will allow it, so let's step down!"
After watching a scene for so long, Emperor Chu Wei was already exhausted and tired, and gently waved his hand to ask them to retreat.
Shen Yuanan snorted coldly at Xiao Pinyan and walked away.
An Guogong and Lu Chexi also shook their heads and slowly retired.
Shen Mushi approached Xiao Pinyan and patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Xiao Shangshu, in three days, come and see him." ”
Xiao Pinyan was shaking his robe, and said with difficulty: "Prince, Weichen is for your good." ”
"Really? This palace advises you to hurry back to the house and explain the future. ”
Shen Mushi evoked a cruel laugh, and then strode out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, leaving Xiao Pinyan alone on the ground and unable to get up for a long time.
"Your Highness, please stay."
Just as Shen Mushi was walking briskly through the incense path, someone suddenly stopped him.
Shen Mushi looked back and saw that it was Lu Chexi, so he turned around and walked towards him.
"What's the matter with the Prime Minister of Land?" Shen Mushi asked.
"Regarding the crown princess, how does His Royal Highness plan to investigate?"
Lu Chexi is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and now his eyebrows are burned, and his face is still calm and unhurried.
"Is Lu Xiang afraid that the crown princess will drag down the Lu family?" Shen Mushi began to test Lu Chexi.
"Fame and wealth are like clouds to me. It's just a sin that you want to add, so why bother? His Royal Highness hasn't told Weichen yet, how to prove Shuangshuang's innocence? ”
Lu Chexi sighed, not hiding his worry about Shuangshuang at all.
"Lu Xiang is so sure that the crown princess must be innocent?"
A look of unknown meaning appeared on Shen Mushi's face.
"The little girl has a chaste personality and a stubborn temper, and she is tall and arrogant at a young age, and ordinary characters can't get into her eyes at all. is as virtuous as the eldest prince, and he won't even look at it. ”
At this time, there were only two people present, and Lu Chexi no longer had any scruples, and his words were quite straightforward.
"In order to keep the pearl in your palm, Lu Xiang pressed the entire Lu family." There was a trace of appreciation and admiration on Shen Mushi's face,
"Yes." Lu Chexi's tone was even lighter than his, and he had the bearing of a superior person.
"Then prepare for Qingjun's side." Shen Mushi smiled lightly, meaning something.
"Minister, get ready."
Lu Chexi lowered his head slightly, arched his hands and replied respectfully to Shen Mu.
When Shen Mushi heard his "minister", he understood in his heart.
"As the court said, anyone can offend, but you can't offend the prime minister, what this palace said is right?"
The two walked forward side by side, and Shen Mushi suddenly said this.
"Weichen, I just love my daughter."
Lu Chexi smiled lightly.
"If the crown princess is really unchaste, what should you do?"
Shen Mushi asked again.
"Your Highness knows what Wei Chen will do, so why bother to tempt it?" Lu Chexi replied in a roundabout way.
"Lu Xiang, you are really an old fox." Shen Mushi laughed, an old man and a young man were equal, they had always been-for-tat and quarrelsome in the court, but at this moment, it was rare for the two to get along peacefully, and they tasted a little sympathy.
Shen Mushi guessed correctly, even if his daughter was really confused and did something wrong, Lu Chexi would do whatever it took to keep her shuangshuang.
Turning black into white, there is no distinction between right and wrong, he will not let outsiders have a chance to fall into the ground.
Those who are enemies of him have only one way to die.
Lu Chexi is a smart person, and he knows in his heart that for the prince, it doesn't matter whether they are chaste or not.
The important thing is that Shen Mushi made every effort to consolidate his position as the crown prince, and first protect himself before he had the strength to pursue other matters.
So as long as the prince is safe, he will try his best to protect both.
And the Lu family must be loyal to the prince, otherwise the end will be worse than Xiao Pinyan.
This is the Emperor's House.
"Weichen hopes that His Highness will never live up to both."
Lu Chexi had long wanted to say this to Shen Mushi, but now that there was no one around, it was the best time to make a heart-to-heart, so he blurted out without hesitation, hoping that the prince could understand his hard work as a father.
"If she is sincere to me, I will naturally live up to her." Shen Mushi's answer was equally sincere.
The lonely city rises from the northwest of the high-rise building, and the Biwa Zhu Yong shines on the city.
Both of them are sitting upright in the meditation pavilion covered with royal blue glazed tiles in the Snow Garden, looking at the attic of bright yellow glazed tiles in a daze.
Shen Mushi did not return to the East Palace last night.
She waited until the end of the day, Li Chuntang hurriedly came to tell that His Royal Highness would go to the school military field after leaving the court today, and when he left, he explained that he would stay in the military camp tonight and return to the palace tomorrow.
Shuangshuang still had those words Shen Yuanan said in his heart, and he was restless in his heart, thinking about Shen Mushi over and over again if he didn't return to the palace, was it because he already knew about it?
If she doesn't even have a chance to explain, how can she prove her innocence?
She was thinking. Not paying the slightest attention to the approach of someone from behind.
"Partridge girl." A familiar voice suddenly came to mind behind him.
Shuangshuang turned her head, with a look of surprise, she couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "Yunliushui!" ”
The man in front of him was clearly the Yun Liushui he knew before, but today he was dressed in such a luxurious manner, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for him to be a court musician.
"I won't see you for a day, how are you doing with the girl?"
Shen Chuji asked gently, holding a wooden box.
"Who the hell are you?"
Both took a defensive step back.
"Shen Mushi told you?"
Shen Chuji smiled bitterly.
I didn't expect Shuangshuang to be wary of him, and a trace of bitterness welled up in my heart for no reason.
"Are you the third prince Shen Chuji?"
Shuangshuang frowned in displeasure when he called the prince by his name.
Shen Chuji naturally didn't ignore her dissatisfaction, and said a little helplessly: "Yun Liushui is Shen Chuji, Shen Chuji is Yun Liushui, you care so much about my identity?" ”
"Cloud King...... Flowing ......... I should have guessed a long time ago! ”
Shuangshuang's inner resentment kept rising, his little face was swollen and red, and he asked angrily at him through the stone table: "Why did you lie to me?" Why? ”
"Why didn't you lie to me, you were obviously the crown princess Lu Shuangshuang, but you lied to me that your name was Partridge and she was the palace maid in the palace."
Shen Chuji put down the wooden box, lifted his robe with his big hand and sat on the white marble bench.
"........." is bilingual.
He was right, he also lied, what right did she have to blame others?
Shuangshuang's anger came and went down faster, and he suddenly died down, and his face was not as indignant as before.
But on second thought, no, not at all.
"Even if I didn't tell you that I was the crown princess, how could you, how could you sow discord? Obviously, that hairband was a return gift from me to the third princess, why did you lie at the birthday banquet and say that I gave it to you? You're doing me a disservice by doing this! I treat you as a friend and a master, why do you want to humiliate Your Highness and humiliate me like this? He's your own brother! ”
The more Shuangshuang spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
"Do you really think that the things you received at the North Champs were all given by the Third Imperial Princess?"
Shen Chuji looked at the pretty faces that were flushed with anger, and when he was actually a little jealous of Shen Mu, he was also a little distracted.
If he is the crown prince, the beauty in front of him is his crown princess, and he is a treasure alone, but it is a pity that creation makes people.........
